Joginder the real soldier: bhajji not a team man!
by dc on Sep 27, 2007 04:00 PM

Bhajji was actually reluctant to bowl either the 19/20 th over against Australia in the semifinals. It was only after Dhoni thought over he asked him to bowl the 18th over. Again in the finals Bhajji never wanted to bowl the final over. He knew the repurcussions of losing the final and wanted to make a scape goat out of Joginder. Bhajji was certainly scared out of his wits in both the games. I would not say selfish but scared. Guys, you have to give credit to Joginder for agreeing to bowl those last overs in both matches. Remember when sachin and Sehwag were slogging Shoaib Akthar in SA WC 2003, he asked waqar younis to remove himself (akhtar)! Same situation here with our own Bhajji. Despite his off spin credentials, I would prefer a good and unafraid soldier like Joginder. He has his own limitations as a bowler but thoroughly a team man and unegoistic!
